Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 18, 2023•From Westerly, RI
Russ was the consummate professional when responding and following up about all the business aspects. And of course his playing is excellent and impressed many, many guests at our event, including this organizer. He's a gem and we'll definitely have him back next year! I'd recommend his performances (and him) to anyone.

Thanks so much Doug! It was such a fun afternoon. Hope to join OSHEAN for another event sometime! -R.D. King

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on May 5, 2023•From Andover, MA
RD has played at a number of our family events and we have been floored every time. His music is so well done, he is easygoing and accommodating; RD just creates the perfect atmosphere for any event. He reads the crowd and is able to also cater to specific requests. We so strongly recommend RD!

Thank you Katie! So glad the music has added the right atmosphere to your events!

R.D. was really great! I booked him for a Executive Summit that needed live music, but it needed to enhance the event vs. taking away from the event. I would definitely book him in the future, and will add him to my vendor list.
He was really great!
:
Thank you Karie! I enjoyed working with you to make the Summit atmosphere fun and engaging. Best of luck with the rest of the conference! -R.D. King

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on April 16, 2023•From Boston, MA
He took time to send me his playlist from which to select popular music from. Answered every email/text that I had concerns about and accommodated to some requests made.
Very accommodating with modification/changes to “program” of evening on the day of the dinner celebration as well. He was asked one week before gig to accompany family member in singing 1 song. RD King did so with ease. I was pleased Bash had him as a choice for our small family gathering for 50th Anniversary dinner celebration. I would recommend him and in the future, hire him again.

Hi Diana,
Thank you so much for the kind words! I was happy to be a part of such a special celebration. Congratulations on your 50th Wedding Anniversary!! I wish you both much continued happiness.
Best,
R.D. King

R.D. was great to work with. He arrived early and was set up and ready to play prior to guests arrival. His musical talent was well received by our guest and I receive many complements on my choice of entertainment for the cocktail portion of our evening. I would highly consider hiring him for the entire evening in the future!!!
Thank you again R.D.!!!, for making our party a success. Kim H., Office Mgr. - G&F

Funeral•Reviewed on October 30, 2022•From Fitchburg, MA
We were so fortunate to have Russell available for our gravesite memorial service. His musical talent made the event so special as he led us in song, but he was also very professional in advising us in choosing appropriate selections and in attending to details leading up to the date. All who attended were moved by his beautiful arrangements, accomplished guitar work and thoughtful presentation.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 9, 2021•From Newport, RI
RD played our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He is a very talented guitarist and we could not have been happier!! We made specific requests for the processional- one was not your typical piece, and he adapted it beautifully! RD was responsive and professional from start to finish. His playing made for a fun atmosphere at the cocktail hour- great selections. A number of our guests commented how great the music was. Would absolutely recommend RD!
:
Thank you for the kind words, Julia!

Russ is an amazing guitarist, he was flexible with last minute changes. He plays beautifully and it added such a beautiful element to our daughter's small intimate wedding. He did an awesome job and was professional, polite and accommodating every step of the way from start to finish. We loved him so much we asked him play longer!

It was such a special evening! Thank you for including my music, Felicia!

Wedding•Reviewed on November 12, 2020•From Rye, NH
Russ played at our wedding during the ceremony and the cocktail hour. He was incredible! Prior to our wedding he had sent us a few clips of him playing his guitar so that we could decide if he was what we were looking for. He is so talented that we chose one of the songs he sent as an example to be played during our processional. We had never heard the song prior to and absolutely fell in love with it. He was easy to communicate with, reliable, and we had no issues at all on our wedding day. He was a pleasure to work with. Many of our guests are talented musicians and have gone out of their way to tell us how impressed they were with Russ. We HIGHLY recommend him!

Hi Shannon,
Thank you for having me! Was glad to help make your wedding day special! Congratulations again.
Best,

Retirement Party•Reviewed on June 18, 2019•From East Greenwich, RI
R.D.'s music added immeasurably to our event - everyone was impressed and his music was perfectly appropriate for this cocktail-style party event for about 100 attendees. He is a very talented musical artist who is clearly passionate about his music and exhibits extraordinary guitar skills. R.D. was very professional and most accommodating in all communications both in planning and during the event. I'm eager to hear him perform again and may need to plan another party for just that purpose!
:
Thanks Dennis! Was great to meet you and I'm glad to hear the music was a hit!
